Simply Red has reportedly filed a lawsuit against EMI Records in relation to the sale and distribution of their Greatest Hits LP.

Mick Hucknall and his associates claim that more than 50,000 copies of the album were provided by EMI to a company called Entertainment UK Ltd.

The Sun reports that Hucknall wants £300,000 in cash owed and damages after the company went into administration shortly after the exchange.

Hucknall earlier said the band will split after 25 years following a farewell tour in 2009.
